More guages installed...

Over the last few weeks I went from 2 gauges, boost and EGT, to 6... I also made my dual a-pillar a single a-pillar.. The visibility is much better now.

I added Rail Pressure (for fun, I don't mess with pressure), fuel pressure, oil pressure, and drive pressure (mainly for exhaust brake pressure). I also moved my pryo probe to the collector and put the drive pressure in the old pyro hole..

I have played with the drive pressure a little, but nothing too much.. I will be curious how it runs when towing.. It gets to about 40 and holds with the WG on... over 55 with the WG off and stock fueling.

The Fuel Pressure sender. I "T"ed into the line after the Cat 2 mic and before the CP3.

The new pyro location and DP hookup.

6' of copper tubing to dissipate the DP heat.

Inline filter to keep any soot (in case of an air leak) from getting to the gauge.

Where I tapped into the oil.. On the drivers side above the ECM.

Rail, Fuel, Oil

EGT

Boost, Drive
